 Hello. Today, I want to take you through a process of creating a layout that you can use in your final project. To do that, make sure that you have ArcGIS Pro up and running. The first thing we want to do is create a map layout. Go to on the top ribbon, click on Insert, click on New Layout, and you'll see a number of layout formats appear. I'm going to go ahead and select ANSI Landscape 11 by 17. What you'll see happen is that that layout is going to load into your ArcGIS Pro map window. Now that we have the map layout on the screen, we need to add some guidelines around it to help us place the map and the associated information we're going to be adding. To do that, in this top horizontal guide bar, just right-click anywhere, click Add Guides. In the Add Guide dialog box, it comes up for Orientation, click Both. For Placement, click Offsets from Edge, and for Margin, click 0.25 inches, and then click OK, and the guide bars are added around your map. Now we need to add a couple more guide bars so that we can properly place our map and the associated information we're going to be adding. On this top guide bar, click on 13, right-click on 13, and click Add Guide, and you'll see a line has been added. Go over and go over about four ticks to the right of 13. Right-click Add Guide, and we now have our vertical guides have been added. We need to add two more horizontal guides, so go over to the left-hand side on the vertical guide bar. Click on 1, click Add Guide, click on 10, click Add Guide, and now we have the basic area where we're going to install our map and the associated information we're going to be adding in the next few steps. To add our map, the Insert tab should be selected. Click Map Frame, click the down arrow on Map Frame, then click Map Layers, and your current map layer should be loaded onto the screen. Now you'll notice that this map layer comes up and it has anchor points at each corner, and then midway on the horizontal and vertical axes. We need to move this map into position. To do that, you'll notice that your cursor is now looks like horizontal and vertical arrows. With your mouse, just drag that map to the left until it hits the guide. Now we need to move the right side of the map into position, and to do that, grab that mid anchor point with your mouse, hold them down a mouse key, and bring it over to 13. Now we have our map in place. Now we have to add some other items. We're going to add a north arrow, a scale bar, and a legend. To add a north arrow, click the down arrow under Maps Surround, click the down arrow under North Arrow. We've got a number of north arrows that we can select. I'm going to select the ArcGIS North 19, so click on that. It will appear in your map layout. When it appears, you'll see that there's anchor points around it. That means that it can be moved. So with your mouse, click inside it and then move that arrow north arrow to wherever you want. Now you may need to rescale it so it'll fit. So to do that, just grab a corner anchor point and adjust it accordingly. Once you get that in place, go back up to Insert, Scale Bar, right click on... Hang on a second here, let me get rid of this. Right click on that down arrow key on the scale bar, and you have a number of selections for scale bars. Click Imperial, I'm going to go ahead and click Alternating Scale Bar 1. Again, it appears in your map layout. Click inside the scale bar and drag it down to the location where you'd like to put it. Once it's placed, go back up to Insert, Maps Surround, click on Legend. Once you click on Legend, create a box in the right side blank area next to your map and your legend should appear. Now your legend now appears and you can resize the box accordingly just by grabbing one of the anchor points. Now once that legend is up there, under the Format Legend, the Brush or Display Tool, click on that and you'll see a number of options come up. What we want to do is under Background, Symbol, click this down arrow next to Background Color, pick a color that suits you, and we now have a background color that highlights our legend. Let's do one other thing with legend though. Let's make sure that we put a legend as a title in here. So under Format Legend, Legend, Title, make sure that it shows and then click Apply and then Legend appears in the Legend box. Now that we have the North Arrow Scale Bar and Legend on our map, we need to add some text. We're going to add three text boxes here. We're going to add a title to the map. We're going to add a subtitle and we're going to add a text box called Scale Bar. First, let's add a title. So to add a title, we're going to go again under the Insert Ribbon in a text subgroup, click Text. And then on your map, click anywhere that you want to put text. And what that does is it will bring up a Format text box on the right-hand side of your screen. Now in the text window, I want you to type in Champlain Power Proposed Transmission Line. Once you have that typed in, now click Text Symbol and you'll see a number of different text that you can use here. I'm going to go ahead and use the Watermark Gray 25% transparency. Once you click that, you'll see that your text will change automatically. Once that's changed, you can grab that text box and move it to where you want it to be on your map. Now if it's too small for you, again, just grab one of the anchor points and make it larger. Once you get it the size you want, then you may need to reposition it. Once it's repositioned, go ahead and click Text again up on the Ribbon Insert Text. And then place that down in the lower left-hand corner. Go to your Format text, click on Text in the text box. Click Baskin Nebo Interconnect. Once you have done that, click Text Symbol. Again, I'm going to select the Watermark Gray 25% transparency. You can choose whatever you want. Once it appears in the text box, grab that text box and place it again however you want. Okay, now we have one more text box to place and that's going to be for a Scale Bar. So click Text, go back to your Text window, type in Scale Bar. Click Text Symbol. Again, you can choose whatever text you want. I'm going to pick the 25% gray again. And once you have that selected, you can move it wherever you want. Okay, now basically what we have done is we have put on a North Arrow Scale Bar legend and we have titled the map layout. This map layout is now complete and ready to use in your final project. So we have two things left to do. One, if you notice, the map looks like it goes outside the bounds of the map layout. So we're going to need to rescale that. And to rescale that, what we'll do is we will go to Layout on the top ribbon. We will zoom out and there we go. Now we have the entire map study area within the confines of the map layout. Now the next thing we need to do is export this to a PDF file so you can use it in your final report. To do that, on the top ribbon, collect share and then export, click on Layout. I'm assuming it's pointed to your sample project file folder. If not, you can put it wherever you want. Go ahead and rename it. I'm going to call mine Baskin Nebo and I'm going to click Export. I already have it there so I'm just going to overwrite it. And once it's done exporting, you have a document that you can use in your final term project report. Again, thanks for watching and I hope this video was of some help for you.
